They used to 'cap' people all the time who were uploading too much and deny the cap to the user when they called up. Prior to that, they were terminating users who upload too much. They also experimented with a period (which is / was well documented on this site) where they were throttling users for a set period of time if they used too much bandwidth in an hour or two. Only after FIOS started giving them a run for their money did they come out with Boost (the premium plan) and basically allow anyone to do what they want on the network....

kudos:2 | We're talking about now, not three years ago. OOL is uncapped (Boost is uncapped on speed as well as on transfer) though if you don't like evening slowdowns then go elsewhere. |

Yeah, and he stated it as though CV / OOL NEVER considered capping / throttling / terminating users for intense use of their network. The ONLY reason why they offer what they do today is because they're losing subscribers to FIOS left and right. BOOST came about as an answer to FIOS... They have no choice to keep a competitive edge.
